Why growing is not a pain for Air Arabia
Air Arabia plans to fly more passengers, further, with its 2 recent deals to increase its fleet size, according to group CE Adel Ali. The carrier has now received all the aircraft from its original order for 44 Airbus A320s. Last year it went back into the market to top up its fleet with 2 new orders. First was a long-term lease with ALC for 6 Airbus A321neos, with deliveries due between January and Oct 2019. That was followed last November with conversion of 5 options for A320s into firm orders. These will be for the current A320ceo version, with deliveries anticipated to be completed by the end of year. The airline began services to Urumqi, in northwest China, in 2015 and the new aircraft –the long-range variant of the A321neo – will help with flying to China, certain central Asian and eastern European destinations. <br/>
